A user asked how to install EdgeDX on a RDSH Farm. It was suggested to modify the command line, adding "RegisterWithDeviceName": true and "REGISTERWITHNAME=1". Additionally, there will also be a need to check if the device group/tag needs to exist, as that may be a factor in the devices not appearing in Edge DX. Resources can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/edge-dx-agent-distribution-and-installation-for-windows.

The user had a question about not being able to view data for a device/user on the UC&C Dashboards for Teams.

How to Disable ControlUp Agent Auto Updates
A user asked if there was a way to disable auto updates for devices with the ControlUp agent other than disabling them one at a time; it is possible to do so by turning off version control.

As a solution, the user was suggested to get a CarbonBlack rule in place to allow it, simplifying future upgrades of the agent.

ControlUp Agent Status Reports “Error” While Working Perfectly
A user asked about an issue with Instant Clone VMs; potential causes suggested included DNS resolution, firewall blocking, Agent not installed, or Agent not running.
